Automated Monitoring

StackOverdrive’s service mix offers the setup, initiation, and management of various automated monitors; that ensure that system operations maintain optimal performance. In the event, these monitors track, identify, target, and log active events that can trigger active remedial actions by the user or consultant or simply store requisite passive data points for later investigation or utilization.

Some of the benefits of automated monitoring include:

• Creation of active metrics associated with data response times, CPU usage, load-balance alarms, exceptions, etc.
• Establishes end-to-end application performance and stability by identifying and leveraging preventative tasks on-demand
• Delivers immediate client and/or consultant feedback on the stability of customizations or improvements as required– Reduces systems time and cost while increasing overall process efficiency
• Establishes and maintains repeatable systems process rules
• Establishes base, and extended systems provisioning
• Actively meters all billing activities while directly supporting business revenue analyses
